Jennifer Lopez

Who she is: Does this dancer-turned-singer-turned-actress really need an introduction?

Brooklyn Decker

Who she is: While she was first famous for gracing the pages, and then the cover, of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue, she made her big-screen debut in Just Go With It, opposite Adam Sandler.

Who she plays: Skyler, an overly upbeat mom-to-be of twins, who’s married to a much older dad-to-be. She’s married off-screen, too, but her hubby, dreamy tennis pro Andy Roddick, is just five years her senior.

Anna Kendrick

Who she is: A Broadway baby, this young actress went Hollywood as high-schooler Jessica Stanley in the Twilight movies. But her star power really shone when she played off George Clooney in Up in the Air. That performance led to a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nod.

Who she plays: Rosie, a food-truck worker who falls for a former flame — and current competitor — and finds herself with a surprise pregnancy.

Elizabeth Banks

Who she is: You’ve seen her play the pregnant part before. First as Zach Braff’s baby mama in Scrubs, and then as Alec Baldwin’s in 30 Rock. Despite having a bouncing baby boy at home, Elizabeth has never actually been pregnant. Her son, Felix, was born via gestational surrogate.

Who she plays: Wendy, a children’s book author who wrote a book for kids on breastfeeding and has strict views of what makes a good mother…until she becomes a first-time expectant mom.

Matthew Morrison

Who he is: First he was a stage star. Then he gave the boy-band thing a try. And then it was back to Broadway. And now, he’s an Emmy nominee for his portrayal of nice-guy teacher Will Schuester on the hit TV show, Glee.

Who he plays: Evan, Cameron Diaz’s partner on a celebrity dance competition. The bicoastal couple will have to shift their focus onto their new family.

Dennis Quaid

Who he is: Former husband to romantic comedy queen Meg Ryan, this movie star has decades of film experience, including roles in The Day After Tomorrow and The Parent Trap.

Who he plays: Ramsey, the 50-something husband to 20-something Skyler, who’s expecting twins. And he has something in common with his character (besides a much younger partner): He’s father to twins with his wife, Kimberly. (His oldest child is with ex Meg Ryan.) Ramsey’s adult son, Gary, will also be expecting a child in the film.

Chace Crawford

Who he is: Best known as a rich New York pretty boy in the TV show, Gossip Girl, this handsome heartthrob is actually a Southern boy by birth.

Rodrigo Santoro

Who he is: After a successful acting career in his native Brazil, this studly star stole hearts in Love, Actually as Karl, Laura Linney’s office sweetheart. Later, he showed some serious skin as Xerxes in the manly movie, 300.

Who he plays: Alex, J. Lo’s handsome hubby.

Chris Rock

Who he is: The comedy king became a household name when he joined Saturday Night Live in the 90s. Since then, the stand-up comic-turned-actor has starred in countless films, and he was the brains behind the long-lasting TV show Everybody Hates Chris.

Who he plays: Vic, the head of an expectant dads’ group, who preps the parents-to-be for their partners’ pregnancies. He didn't have to do much research for his part — he’s already a dad to two daughters.

Ben Falcone

Who he is: You might recognize Ben from his breakout role in Bridesmaids (he played Air Marshall Jon opposite his real-life wife, Melissa McCarthy).

Who he plays: Gary, the sympathetic husband to first-time mom-to-be Elizabeth Banks throughout her awkward pregnancy. But this new dad also becomes a new brother twice over — his father, played by Dennis Quaid, is expecting twins in the movie.

Joe Manganiello

Who he plays: Davis, who’s an impossibly cool ladies man and the envy of Chris Rock’s daddy support group. This role may hit close to home for Joe, who has no kids of his own — and have you seen his abs?
